On Friday Vampire Weekend made an exciting announcement, that their forthcoming date at New York's Roseland Ballroom would be streamed live with actor and director Steve Buscemi at the helm.

The news was alluded to via the band's Twitter, alongside a very cool piece of geneology news.

Buscemi, whose directing credits include episodes of Nurse Jackie and The Sopranos, as well as Trees Lounge, was captured with Chris Baio in the below photo, posted on the group's instagram.

Vampire Weekend are currently in rehearsal stages for the show, which takes place April 28, with filmed clips from Buscemi cited to appear in the run up. Full tour dates and ticket information is available on the band's website. Watch the trailer below.
